Ethics of Mafia affecting real life

So one problem with playing Mafia is that your playing quality heavily depends on your availability on playing. Clearly, being on more often is an advantage compared to being on less often. And also, there are some critical periods where being online is more important than at other times, such as near deadline or when you are about to get lynched.

So my question is, to what extent should playing forum Mafia affect your daily life? Let's say during one of those 'critical periods', you are at school or at work or at some place you shouldn't be on MafiaScum, should you try to chalk up the time for access anyway? It's morally wrong to do so, but at the same time, I feel guilty about it as it's not playing to your win condition. (which is a site rule, right?)

It's really hard to draw the line between Mafia affecting your life and not playing to win condition. How should I draw this line?
